Sky wireless broadband issues !!!

Hi,

can someone please help, I've had sky broadband for over a year now, all's been well up to around a week ago, both my laptops and ipod could connect wireless, but all of a sudden I have to wire both laptops to the router and the ipod won't connect, all devices can see my router but just won't connect.

Surely it can't be my computers or ipod as they were connecting without any issues until recently,

Download Inssider from the link below and use it to discover the the channels in use in your area. Set your channel to one as far from those in use as possible. There is a good chance someone is now using channel 7 and it is interfering with your router.
Incidentally, you are paying for the broadband connection, the wireless is free.

Well, I gotta go get ready for work, but a few quick suggestions:

Reset the router for a good 10 seconds to set back to factory settings. Change the ssid and channel, apply and try again. Only thing after that is to try changing/disabling the encryption and trying to reconnect. Again, if still no joy on any of the devices, then it sounds like the router needs replaced.
